Let's be fair, then, and take no-one. We need more immigrants like we need a hole in the head. The political class brings them in because it's a lazy way to pad GDP. But it means to the people already here no wage growth, higher property prices, shortage of rental properties, higher welfare bills and overcrowding. Pretty damn stupid. Twenty eight percent of the population is already foreign-born. You don't keep a country cohesive and healthy that way.

Belly,

Having dealt with many South Africans of various colours both in Aus and overseas I have never heard such an utterance. Also, as it is overwhelmingly unlikely to be true, I wonder what interchange between your bunch and him solicited such an angry outburst. My personal experience is that I have seen more racism from White Australians than white South Africans.

As for South Africa, the level of crime affects all colours and is really at levels that makes violence there only exceeded by countries at war. Most South Africans come to Aus based on skills that Aus desperately needs, combine their contributions to Aus with their situation at home, and there is justification for them to be given some level of priority.

We can't bring in Afrikaans - they'll likely vote Liberal or conservative and that negates one of the main reasons for bringing in refugees.

The Communist party leader , comrade G Brandis ordered that in 2016, 6,567 people who arrived in Australia seeking asylum were recognised as refugees.

SM well you just lost me, you are unhinged, calling me out for lies that never took place is informative
See NATIONAL PARTY booth personnel witnessed it and took my side
The man was of Dutch South African extraction
He targeted me because of my red shirt
Nationals hold this seat, while not each others fans we do not let such people attack any one
sorry but as you may already know, your opinions are often not near shared by most
At the last federal election, at pre poll, a DEMENTED WOMAN from the GREENS grabbed the member, a National, and screamed insults at every one not green
I along with the NATIONAL booth Captain restrained her and saw she never manned a booth again.
Sir your self assurance is miss placed

Peter Dutton has talked about fast-tracking
refugee applications for white-African
farmers from South Africa.

If we contemplate throwing open the flood gates
to a group reportedly being targeted for
violence, perhaps we should consider such an
expedited assistance program for other marginal
groups also subject to horrific violence.
The Rohingya from Myanmar, perhaps?

We're told that over 6,700 were killed in one
month - that's a lot more than in South Africa.
Yet we haven't heard Mr Dutton talk about fast-
tracking those people. In fact quite the opposite -
basically zero comments on the issue.
